Huge Battery Drain Problems

---

Hey everyone,

About three weeks ago I noticed that my battery appeared to drain much quicker than before while running Calks 1.7 GB rom on EL26. I figured that this could just have been a bug so I upgraded to his 1.6 ICS 4.04 ROM flashing through recovery. However, this did not alleviate the issue. When I investigated this further it appeared that the phone is unable to efficiently enter a deep sleep. I have disabled all sync's and have no apps installed. After a full charge I get about 6 hours of battery life without using my phone once (and also in airplane mode). The Android OS kernel takes up 99% of the CPU usage. I downloaded Better Battery Stats and created a dump file here:

Any ideas as to why I am only getting 5hr and 24 minutes from a full charge? I have tried different modems and ROMS but nothing has worked. Thanks!

Screen shots would of done the job......
Turn off sync and you can use juice defender pro to help you get better battery

Horrible reply for xda, your post looks like a Yahoo answers reply. You didn't even read what he wrote.

To op, if you are not using your phone as your post says, you definitely are installing a rogue app as your phone was awake for over 3 hours. Have you tried wiping? Also, battery monitor, whatever that is, appears to be significantly keeping your phone awake. Finally, it appears from the info above your phone was not in airplane mode the whole time as you suggest.

Also, on ics you can view data usage on a per app basis in the settings. Post a screen cap of that screen.

BetterBatteryStats is designed to help only if you leave the phone on battery for a minimum of 2-3 hours (overnight is better) without using it at all. This will give you & us an accurate reading of what the phone is doing while it is supposed to be sleeping.

So just let the phone die if I leave it unplugged during the night? It is only lasting 6 hours remember.

Ok, sorry forgot. LOL
Well, from a full charge, let it sit for 2-3 hrs (I know, its tough) without touching it and post the log then.

Is this a brand new phone btw and are you giving the roms a chance to settle in for a couple/three days before judging battery life? The first day or two typically suck after flashing a new rom.

Edit: Oh, and being on ICS is definitely not going to help your battery situation. The GB rom is way more efficient. You may want to consider going back (the proper way, by odin EL26 stock kernel by Chris41G) and doing a fresh format and install.

Well, it seems that my issue with the battery drain is resolved. It appears that the phone was constantly waking up because of a glitch in the USB, making the phone repeatedly turn on and think it is in car mode. This glitch also prevented the phone from recognizing the USB every so often for charging. I took a q-tip and gently wiped down the connectors inside the port and it seems to have made a more secure connection. I now get 20+ hours on a full charge with limited use, and the phone is going into a deep sleep.
